You are lucky - one of our hives are nasty little critters. Have to give the garden a wide berth for the rest of the day! www.viableselfsufficiency.co.uk

well there isn't a rhyme for April. If they had only swarmed in June, they would have been worth a silver spoon, but if they leave it until July, it isn't worth a fly.
I wonder why June swarms are suposed to be worth more. Any beekeeper able to tell me?

I'm only a wanna be bee keeper at the moment, but maybe it's because of the length of time the new colony of bees would have to lay down honey before the Autumn. Hay being more useful than spoons.
